Work in Progress, may not be up to date yet with the PlexCache-D v3 release

These instructions should still work with PlexCache v2.1.2 LTS branch, which was the last version of PlexCache-R.

Step 1: Getting the Files

Put the files from this Repo into a known folder on your Unraid server. I use the following:

/mnt/user/appdata/plexcache/plexcache_app.py

I'll keep using this in my examples, but make sure to use your own path.


Step 2: Configure the script:

Running the Setup Script and generating your plexcache_settings.json file. Click the link for full instructions and guidance.


Step 3: Run PlexCache-R:

There are other methods to run the PlexCache-R script, but I've only tested and use the UserScripts one, so that's all I'll list here for now. UserScripts Setup. Click the link for full instructions and guidance.
